NNPP's Rotham Withdraws Suit Against Adeola's Candidacy
Akinbola Rotham, the Ogun State governorship candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has officially withdrawn Suit No. FHC/AB/CS/135/2026, which contested Senator Solomon Adeola's eligibility to run in the 2027 governorship election based on his indigeneship claims.
Rotham stated that this decision was made in the interest of the Ogun West agenda and the overall development of Ogun State. He emphasized the importance of Ogun West producing a governor after years of waiting, asserting that political competition should be constructive rather than divisive.
Rotham described Adeola as a brother and fellow contestant, advocating for governance focused on competence and accountability rather than disputes over indigeneship. He clarified that his withdrawal was not influenced by financial incentives or political settlements, maintaining that it was based on principle and the collective interest of Ogun West.
Rotham remains committed to the 2027 governorship race and looks forward to engaging with Adeola and other stakeholders.
